question
determine the type of correlation represented in the scatter plot below.
answer
the graph show

Explanation:

To determine the correlation, we analyze the scatter plot's trend. The points generally decrease as \( x \) increases, indicating a negative correlation. The points are somewhat clustered but not perfectly aligned, so it's a strong negative correlation (since the trend is clear and the points follow the downward pattern closely, though not perfectly). A perfect negative correlation would have all points on a straight line, and weak negative would have more scattered points. Here, the downward trend is distinct and the points are relatively close to a straight line, so it's a strong negative correlation.

Answer:

a strong negative correlation
